A recent Pew survey finds the majority of U.S. veterans favor Republican candidate Donald Trump over Democratic candidate Kamala Harris in a 60 to 40 split. Slovenian model turned U.S. first lady, Melania Trump has had a bittersweet experience in the limelight since her husband, Donald Trump, was elected president in 2016.
